Wirtz and Sesko on the bench as Liverpool and Man Utd clash | OneFootball

Florian Wirtz has once again been named on the bench as Liverpool take on Manchester United in the Premier League this afternoon.

Arne Slot has made no changes to the starting lineup that lost to Chelsea before the October international break, with Dominik Szoboszlai picked ahead of the German playmaker for a second week running.

Wirtz, who joined the Reds from Bayer Leverkusen this past summer in a deal worth up to £116 million, received the backing of his manager this week, but has not been trusted from the first whistle for the visit of United. He is yet to score or assist a goal this season.

Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim has opted start Matheus Cunha up top instead of Benjamin Sesko, while Harry Maguire replaces Lenny Yoro in the backline.

Sesko has scored two goals in eight Premier League appearances since joining the club from RB Leipzig for £66.3 million, which could rise up to £74 million.
